the 2000 population of a city was 715,000 and was increasing at the rate of 1.46% each year. at that rate when will the population be 1 million?

Answer 1

If you add 1.46%, you now have 101.46%, right?

1,000 = 715(1.0146)^t

200/143 = 1.0146^t

log(200/143) = tlog(1.0146)

t = log(200/143)/log(1.0146)

t = 23
